Notes

I recommend using ripe cantaloupe for the best sweetness, which really enhances the cocktail’s flavor. You can add more or less simple syrup based on your sweetness preference.

If you don’t have a muddler, you can use the back of a spoon to mash the fruit. Let me know your thoughts or tips if you try this out.
